The man looked to be no more than thirty years old, with slightly unruly brown hair, and he was wearing the latest style of gown, and the cuffs were only a gold rim.

But no one would think that this was a one-ring mage, because the gold rim that represented his rank was much thicker than the ordinary one, like a streamer ribbon that wrapped around the cuffs.

This is the hallmark of a legendary mage.

Legendary Mage!!

Almost as soon as they recognized each other, everyone present who was still sane immediately bowed their heads and saluted.

No one could have imagined that a legendary mage would come.

"Your Excellency."

Reiner, of course, knew each other, and although the two had not communicated with each other, he had heard rumors of this Lord from various sources, especially when people always compared Reiner to this one.

"I interrupted my experiments and came here not to watch this kind of family ethics drama."

The other party scoffed at the emotional dispute between Percival and Lysa, mocked mercilessly, and then looked around at the people present, and his eyes fell on Reiner.

"Reiner. Ian Gray, where is the paper mentioned in that letter? ”

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Reiner immediately presented Cialis's paper, and the people present were silent, even the crying Lysa suppressed her tears, and everyone stared at the legendary mage, and the atmosphere did not dare to gasp.

After all, this one's temper is also notoriously unpredictable in the mage world, and he is good at-for-tat, and his words are unscrupulous.

Once, in the chamber of the High Council, he was still a High Mage, and he debated with a dozen other High Mages for three days, and finally won the victory, making him famous.

After becoming a legendary mage, he had academic debates with almost all other legendary mages, except for His Excellency Braggs, the founder of modern magic.

This is Isaris. Alberton, the master of the law system, proposed the three laws of kinematics, which became one of the cornerstones of the law system and had a far-reaching influence, and he himself became the object of worship of many mages as the youngest legendary mage.

Alberton pulled up a random chair and sat down, reading Ciris's paper word by word, sometimes shaking his head and sighing, sometimes falling into deep thought, his every move tensed the nerves of those present.

Finally, half an hour later, Alberton put down the paper and sighed in a tone of unfinished business.

"It's so well written."

Then he added faintly.

"It's my old style."

His words made Reiner feel a little embarrassed, and it seemed that it was not unreasonable for the outside world to rumor that Alberton was extremely conceited.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of this paper?"

Reiner asked.

"The unification of several major equations of motion has been my wish for many years, and I have tried many methods, none of which are so beautiful, but this paper solves this problem perfectly, especially the definition of imaginary numbers, although simple, but extremely groundbreaking."

Alberton was quite serious when he reviewed the paper, he continued.

"It seems that His Excellency Braggs is right, we can't always use the known methods to solve unknown problems, we must explore unknown ways to solve known problems."

After a pause, Alberton glanced at Percival again.

"Such a paper, although it is only mathematical, I think its value is enough to rank in the top ten of all papers in history, but I didn't expect it to be rejected. Rubbish, idiots, idiots who can be put on display in museums!! ”

"Lord Alberton, I actually think that the burial of this paper has a lot to do with the long-standing prejudice of the mages."

Reiner said, his words making several other people tremble, but they didn't expect him to dare to say these words directly to His Excellency the Legendary Mage.

"What do you mean?"

Alberton put down the paper, he had been a little interested in this Reiner before, but now he could patiently listen to what the other party had to say.

"Most of our long-term research is only for the feedback of the world, for the improvement of their own magical strength, even high-level mages will not pay too much attention to things that cannot be profitable, and mathematics is one of them."

Reiner said as he pondered the words, observing Alberton's face.

"For a long time, the study of mathematics has been in a passive state, when mages encounter difficult magic problems, they will turn to the study of mathematical tools, such as calculus, if it were not for the difficulties in the derivation of kinematic equations, I am afraid that you would not have developed calculus."

That's too bold, isn't it?

When Igor heard Reiner's words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked at Alberton, but the legendary mage bowed slightly, looking very understanding.

"Indeed, in the course of my research, I have become more and more aware of the importance of mathematics, and many aspects of the subject are difficult to continue because of mathematical troubles."

Alberton nodded, motioning for Reiner to continue.

"Just like this paper, because it is a purely mathematical derivation, even if it is recognized, it will not be of much benefit to the researcher, and the magic strength cannot be improved, and it is even inferior to some mages who rely on tricky means to advance, and over time, people will become more and more alienated from mathematics, a discipline that cannot see the application."

In short, Reiner is talking about the current academic world, which is too utilitarian, and all research is only for the purpose of being practical, and there is too little investment in the research of basic theories, and there will even be a phenomenon of ridicule of those who study basic theories.

"As much as I know that the philosophy of the mage is to be efficient pragmatism, perhaps we can give more encouragement to those who are engaged in research that is not practical for the time being, or rather, what kind of people should we reward?"

Reiner questioned.

"I think those who study magic and create colorful spells, and those who study mathematics and seek the truth, they are all worthy of praise, and we should judge the research of mages not only by whether they are 'useful' but by whether they are closer to the truth."

His words made Alberton also fall into thinking, whether it made sense to devote his energy to studying a theory that I don't know if it has practical value, or maybe even has no practical value.

Reiner saw that Alberton was contemplating, and continued.

"Thales, the ancient magician. Anakshi summed up the theory of trigonometric functions and conic curves, and 1,800 years later, Wild. His Excellency Regens thus established the law of the movement of the stars;

"Lincoln. Woolthop divided sunlight into seven colors thousands of years ago, and at the time it was just a toy to please children, but it was only in recent decades that mages understood why the light was so colorful;

"And Siris. Oldman, who proposed the concept of imaginary numbers ten years ago, created the Sirius transform, and only ten years later, found its application in the system of equations that describe electromagnetic fields. ”

After a pause, Reiner continued to speak.

"Who knows, years from now, if people will go to the stars by some obscure mathematical formula?"

Alberton was silenced by his words, and these theories, when they were proposed, were almost all called useless theories, but time proved in the end.

"Wings that can't fly also make sense."

Reiner glanced at Safros and continued.

"That's the foundation for one day to be able to soar into the sky."
